Quick question guys, i have searched, is the TD2 compatiable with microSDHC?
Where did you search, a good place to start would be the specifications section, although does just say SD 2.0 compatible. A quick google on SD 2.0 would get you the answer though.
(Oh yeah, it is microSDHC compatible)
yes, the topaz is compatible with SDHC up to 16gb
Yeah, should do. microSD 2.0 is microSDHC. I've bought a sandisk 16gb card (class 4) for my phone. Still hasn't arrived though, so can't confirm anything. But according to specs it should be a perfect match

Could you check if your card is really class 4 (maybe test it transferring large files on it using a fast adapter? Most card I have seen are class 2, and the one of the only class 4 was subsequently reported as class 2 in a (rightfully angry) user review.
Juts curious, I already have ordered a 16GB sandisk class 2, which seems (by far) the most common 16GB card available. No test yet (still waiting for my card AND my TD2 ;-) ), but others have reported the combination to work and the class 2 speed more than enough for the phone, only the transfer from PC to card may suffer. The other potential area where write speed is important is video recording and photos in rapid succession....But I think VGA recording will not tax the card, and TD2 is not able to take shots in that fast a succession...

Hi,
I have a 16GB sandisk class 2 currently in my phone and it works fine. I have played a few divx/avi files off it fine. Haven't tested the video recording though.

thanks for the feedback buddy
sandisk ultra is class 6, the normal cards are class 2
i have to correct it:
the 1,2,4 and 8GB ultra cards are class 6, the 16GB is still a class 4
normal sdhc cards are 2
i have a class2 8GB card works flawlesly
I would hope it is. My Elfin is running with a 16GB micro SD. It would be toture if I got it and it didn't. %100 sure it does though.
i have Sandisk class2 16gb on my new Diamond2 and it works 100% fine
does not work
i have just bought a 16gb sandisk sdhc card and it will only show up as 4gb in my phone and laptop and i have also been told the phone does not support sdhc buy a memory card retailer

For the record... I have a Kingston 16GB SDHC. Works like a charm.
Me too... been running a Class 2 16mb Sandisk since day one and no problems.
Does anyone know if a class 6 (16G) will work in the Topaz?
I didn't see differences between class 2 and class 4.....
I'm using Kingston 8GB class 4
+1 for the Class 2 16mb Sandisk.

I've just changed from the Class 4 8mb Sandisk, and the difference in speed loading up the card with music/video is minimal. I think the TD2 itself is maybe limiting the speed more than the "Class" rating. There might be a bigger difference if using an external card reader to write to the card.

Class 2,4,6 should all work. I would think the brand is more critical than the Class, which only gives some indication of max writing (not reading) speed.
After trying with 2 different brands of Class 6 16G SD cards with no luck whatsoever, I decided to go with a Class 2 and works flawlessly.
I didn't want to waste more time with a Class 4, for now, but maybe I will test it in a little while.

I just wanted to know the speeds of the SDHC cards, i wasnt sure how they compared to SD ultra II cards. I just havnt been able to find the specs anywhere so far.
When I bought my 4 GB sandisk SDHC I asked the salesman about speeds. He searched many places, even at the manufacturers homepage, without finding any specs. He sent a mail to sandisk, but I havent heard from him yet.
I'll tell you the results when I hear from him...
On the card itself, there should be a number in a circle. This number is the rated write speed of the card, in MB/second. This PDF from SanDisk should provide more detail.
All i know is that they are class 4 cards, and that they are much faster than regular sd, micro sd cards, but not as fast as USB 2.0 or firewire.
After reading the pdf, it appears that there is more than one class. My 6gb card says that it is a class 4, so it would transfer at 4mb/s.

hmm, well as long as the kaiser can take full advantage of that 4mb/s then that's pretty good.

i would logically think that it should be...i mean, if it can accept SDHC, then it will prob. be able to utilize it.
The 6GB and soon to be out 8GB cards are all currently "Class 4" which is 4mb/s; ScanDisc is the current leader in bringing Micro SD card technology to market and to this point there have been no indications there is a "Class 8" or higher in the immediate future.
4GB cards typically will be either "Class 4" 4mb/s or "Class 2" 2mb/s. If you see a really cheap 4GB card there is a good chance it is a Class 2, so be careful.

Amazon is selling a 2GB SD card for $40.85 where they claim:
Product Description
The Sandisk Mobile Premier microSD Memory Card offers all the benefits of a standard Sandisk microSD card plus higher performance and TrustedFlash technology for premium content storage on next generation phones. Write at 10MB per second and read 9MB per second for higher speeds to increase the functionality of your phone's storage capabilities. Listen to more songs, view & print more pictures and store more videos.
the link is:
http://www.amazon.com/Microsd-Premi...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1192552982&sr=1-6
many ppl are mistakening about what the classes refer to, there are 3 class 2, 4 and 6, this means the minimum write speed the micro sd can achieve, in other words, the class 4 and class 6 may not even be faster than a class 2.
I have te following and did a simple test using the hd tach.
toshiba 4GB class 4
sandisk 4GB class 2
sandisk 6GB class 4
all cards offer a write speed at just over 4MB/S
As for the read speed, both sandisk is about 11MB/s, whiles the toshiba is at 20MB/s
on the market apart from these, there are others, like kingston and eagletec (toshiba OEM), and may be some others.

I go the 6GB sacndisk from Buy.com for 70$

i've read here and there about microSD card classes. i want to flash the latest cyanogen mod to be able to use apps2sd - so what class/type memory card should i buy?
The general consensus is that class 6 cards provide the best speeds with apps2sd roms. But then some ppl say they don't really notice a difference. Personally I use class 6 and can say that they work great.

You should buy an 8GB class 6 from A-data ! Their memory cards are superb compared to others. I have tried Kingston, Transcend and some other stuff but nothing can compare with A-data
go for an 8gb or 4gb class 6 sandisk.
They're hard to find but are the fastest around.
And you've actually heard of the name!
Always used the fast 4gb class 6 Sandisk one.
Use the cheapest class 6 of the size you want on Newegg.
Just wait for SanDisk's 32gb MicroSD, more space for more apps, music, and movies
I found that some SanDisk cards don't have the class number written on the cards.
What does it matter that the class number isnt on the card? Just look at the box when you buy it
using a class 4 PNY 8 gig card works fine with apps2sd.
im also looking to buy a class 6 16gb card. Plz tell me which one should i buy from www.newegg.ca
was thinking A-data or Ridata

Most plain blue Sandisk memory cards are class 2. It's not until you get into there ultra series will you get class 6 speeds. They don't mention it so it's easier to disguise products and not make it comparable to other brands.

newegg doesn't show the image of the box. I don't think they mention it on the box either but I need to get a hand on the box first.
After buying a 16GB SD card I foudnd that my phone would randomly freeze and the screen will not turn on. I've replaced that card with a diffrernt brand and now it works.
I don't want anyone else wasting their money on incompatible SD cards in their Motorola Milestone 2s. So I;ve started a list. I will need as much contribution as possible. Thx!
WORKING:
Kingston 8GB Class 4
Kingston 32GB Class 4
Sandisk 8GB Class 4
Sandisk 16GB Class 4
Sandisk 32GB Class 4
Toshiba 16GB Class 4
NOT WORKING:
Kingmax 16GB Class 10
Lexar 16GB Class 4
Lexar 16GB Class 6
Patriot 32GB Class 4
Transcend 8GB Class 6
SOLUTIONS:
Formatting using the phone's inbuilt formatter
Change to a different brand card
I've been planning to buy a 16GB SD myself, but haven't gotten to it yet.
As the device has a SanDisk SD included, i'd say you're absolutely safe with it. However, Kingston SD cards are cheaper, so I'm keeping an eye on that brand. But my preference is SanDisk.
32GB San Disk working just fine for me.

Cheaper and worse. I have been using a few Kingston micro SD cards and all of them after some time just stopped working or lost whole data in contrast to SanDisk which still working fine
Toshiba 16GB class4 works fine

Be careful about Kingston's 16GB TF card. I don't think it is work fine with Milestone 2. When playing video and music, it is OK. But when playing games (such as Dungeon Hunter 2 HD), the program is often not responding.

So in response to my previous thread on the DVP and if it would work for me I'd like to thank everyone for their insightful thoughts options and most of all answers.
Now my next question, Micro SDHC card choices. And again, answers are the preferred responses but thoughts and options would be fantastic.
I am going to add to and edit together a list of Micro SDHC Cards on here for people to reference for the future.
Firstly, I already own this card but have yet to try it with a DVP. Anyone here with experience or can at least validate the technical specifications as having a chance at working, let me know.

How's your class 10 card holding up?
Micro SDXC has a completely different specification From Micro SDHC. Remember when Micro SDHC came out, older devices that were made to use jus Micro SD wouldnt read them, same issues with the DVP and those SDXC cards.

Wish we can get a little more feedback on this.
Does anyone know if we can go back to the old card if the new one doesn't work out? Is it just a matter of popping the old one back in the sd slot?
I know what u mean. Msoft said tha tthe Windows Phones would be the next generation Zune Players, but coming from a Zune80, a phone shipping with 8 - 16 gbs of storage is pathetic. I have 60 gbs of music, what am i supposed to do with a 8 gb DVP?
Thank goodness the DVP is somewhat easy to upgrade to 32gigs. At the very least msoft should give u the ability to stick two Micro sdhc cards in a phone, mux it together and create a 64gb pool of storage.
tried lexar 16GB class 10?
I got a SanDisk 16 class 4, its been doing fine then it got stuck at whatsapp then the phone goes into a loop of restart and cut off.
The only way to fix it was to recover the phone.
so I need a new card for my phone, I see that the lexar 32Gb class 10 is good for this phone but don't want to go up to 32GB, has anyone tried the 16GB version? Would it come out with the same results ?

Heard there were two patches, one is a renaming of a class 2 to class 4 and another is the newer where its different class 4.
I guess I got the bad batch.....
I recently got a DVP. It shipped with a 16GB Sandisk class 4, which worked fine for a few days until my 32GB Sandisk class 4 arrived, which also has no problems at all.
Watch out for fake Sandisk cards, apparently they are out there.
Yeah it should work just fine that 16gb class 10. A little fyi, i bought that 32 gb sandisk (no 4) Working fine so far.
Once the speed is class 4 and over and there are no bad memory areas on the card u'll be fine no matter the size.

sandisk 16gb class 4...i can tell some speediness in games over the class 2...maybe its in my head though, but phone runs great with it
I find read speeds don't really change much past class2 in android. Write speed, however, does increase with a higher class
No Good: FilmPro 32GB microSD Class 10
I tried this card in my Xperia Play
= no increased speed in phone (in PC yes but not in phone)
= frequent "Corrupt Card error" in phone (no choice but to format)
... i have since returned to using an 8GB class 4.
=no problems at all.
-BTW I also did a factory reset and that got rid of the data files from the preinstalled games; so, 8GB is plenty again.
